This year's second round of the ever-popular Mixing Musicals training course took place in October, giving another dozen students the change to gain first-hand experience of all the essential tasks associated with sound operating excellence, from basic mixing theory to working with the latest digital mixing technology.

Held at Orbital Sound's purpose-built training rooms, programming suite and sound studio in Brixton, London, the course focused on the practical skills and theory behind best-practice FOH mixing requirements for modern musicals.

Mixing Musicals is far, far more than just another "this is how a mixing desk works" workshop - Mixing Musicals participant's were taken through every stage of the process – from the rehearsal room to setting up a desk in its base state, including the theory, introduction to why line-by-line mixing is so important, and what happens when you don't do it.

The students experienced all the essential tasks associated with sound operating excellence, from basic mixing theory to working with the latest digital mixing technology.
